Female porn is really bad. And it's affecting my mom too. She's been caught up in Korean dramas and started talking to me about finding mr right. About finding a guy, with a good background, love me more than i love him, will take care of me. And she added: few years older than you also good. Know how to take care of you. It's quite ridiculous yes? But then, which girl won't want a guy with so many good 'tiao jian'?

Which brings me back to my point. Female porn is bad. The same way porn-porn guys ogle at is bad. Even though messages are totally different and sent through different forms, the whole idea is the same. They both set in the audience's mind what the ideal character/body/look of a guy/girl should be, and most of the time, this ideal is almost unachievable through healthy means.

Yeah, even though girls kinda know that guys like them on tv are just characters, just acting, there isn't a clear line between reality and fiction. What do you think makes girls cry while watching sad movies? The very same thing gets us engrossed and hooked on serials, on romance novels and the likes. Its that little hope harboured, that someday that'll be their story. Well, not really their story. But then I guess its the emotional involvement. Funny, how we can get attached to characters, people we don't even know. No, actually we do know them. Their characters are so well developed that we know them better than we know ourselves. But still, they're not real at all. YET, knowing that we still feel that 'UGH' when something goes against them. We feel their pain, cry when they shed a tear, feel enraged for them when they're going through turmoil that clearly is not justified. Sometimes we even feel lost after a series ends. No? I'm alone on this. Far from it.

So, as much as I'm a 'feminist', I do pity my male counterparts. Even though this doesn't really mean a thing to you guys, it is a form of pressure that you go through. Girls are forced to conform to the media's stencil of perfection, guys are likewise obliged to be mr nice guy, mr buy-her-flowers-everyday. (I'm not saying that guys are affected by this)

I'm guessing my dear laaa does not agree with me? Haha. Got someone to serenade you of course won't agree already. Right?! =P

Janine, you're kinda contradicting yourself and getting quite irritating already. Stop talking about girls and guys already! Shut up! Seriously!

Hai. Janine, Janine. The movies tomorrow will probably get you eating your words. You'll probably feel all warm and fuzzy (again) when shane west be all nice to mandy moore. And feel SAD SAD SAD when the bad stuff come. (They better have A Walk to Remember tomorrow or I'll sound so stupid.)

See, why are we like that.
Nono, Janine, why are YOU like that. Stop speaking for everyone else.
We know what's right, yet everything in us cries out for the exact opposite.

GRRR.
Gosh, I think I'm going crazy.
Janine, just shut up.

Note: Do realise that I'm being highly skeptical. And since it's probably just a phase, DO NOT let me burst any bubbles you have on the romance and the opposite gender. =)
